I believe that was Mr Peterman, not Elaine's father. George was left alone
listening to all his trademark boring long stories. So her family is still
a mystery.

Listen Buster, you're wrong.
On "The Jacket" (8) Jerry and George ate dinner with Elaine's father.

Elaine's dad is a famous writer and she is indeed late for dinner with
him and Jerry and George and Elaine's dad is not impressed with either
George or Jerry. It's the "suede jacket" episode.

George keeps singing some lines from a song from Les Mis.

Blah blah...All I remember...nowhere near my tape of the show...sorry.

No, D&K are right---Jerry, George, Elaine and
Mr. Benes were supposed to meet for dinner and
Elaine was late and so the guys were left trying
to make small-talk. Mr. Benes is a macho, no
nonsense, military type bear of a man (rather
reminded me of my own father---The Great Santini
himself!!). This was the same episode where
Jerry had just sprung mucho dinero for a suede
jacket. Unfortunately for him, to try and keep
up with Mr. Benes's machoism he was "forced" to
go out in the rain while wearing it, thus
ruining it. Fortunately for Kramer, he ended up
with it!

Buster, you're not hallucinating---that was a
Seinfeld episode too (and I think it was the one
that introduced us to JP), just not the *same* one...

Best part of that entire episode with Mr. Benes was:

"We had a funny guy in our unit in a Korea. Tailgunner. Blew his brains out
all over the Pacific."

Her father was played by Lawrence Tierney of Old movies and recently
Reservoir Dogs fame.

You are right, we have seen Elaine's father. The episode is "The jacket". Jerry buys a jacket and
wears it to go to diner with Elaine, her father and George. It a very good episode we first saw in
1991. Elaine's father was never seen after. He was played by Lawrence Tierney who played in Reservoir Dogs.
The Caracter's name was Alton Benes. She mentions having a sister also, but we never saw her. Jerry also
said he had a siter in "The chinese restaurant", but later said he was an only child. They probebly never
tought in would last that long.

Sorry for my english, i'm a french canadian, and still learning.

Yes there was an episode with Elaines father. It was quite funny, Elaine
was late, then, Jerry Bailed on George, so He had to make small talk the
whole time in typical George fashion!! I think Her dad makes Jerry ruin
his new suede jacket too!
